To ask the Scottish Government how it is working with the NHS and local authorities to support disabled people and carers in the North East Scotland region.
The Scottish Government is committed to supporting disabled people and carers across Scotland.
This is demonstrated by our record investment of £21.7 billion in health and social care in 2025-26 which includes almost £2.2 billion for social care and integration and £88.4m per year in local carer support through the local authority Carers Act funding.
We will continue to work with Health and Social Care Partnerships, local authorities, and other partners across North East Scotland in the delivery of the NHS Renewal Framework, social care reform and Disability Equality Plan to drive improvements in support for disabled people and carers.
